Three Dublin bars are included on a list of Ireland's 20 best pubs.

Lonely Planet narrowed down our 7,000 bars for the list of pubs it says people should bookmark for their next trip.

"The Irish pub is an essential part of Ireland's culture, and it is within these walls that you can enjoy creamy pints, find the coziest snugs, and experience the friendliest of welcomes" according to the world-renowned travel guide.

The Gravediggers in Glasnevin is included, with Lonely Planet saying the bar is known for its "excellent pint and Irish tapas."

"A much-loved establishment with not a television in sight, conversation is key here at The Gravediggers. Now run by the seventh generation of Kavanaghs, the pub is so-called as it was built into the wall of Glasnevin Cemetery and gravediggers used to come in for a few drinks after a hard day’s labor."

Renowned traditional Irish music pub, The Cobblestone in Smithfield, also makes the top 20 list.

"From organized sessions, to simply turning up with your instrument and hopping into the fray, a night out here is not to be missed."

While Street 66 in Temple Bar was described as "an atmospheric LGBTQ+ bar with great music."

Other pubs outside the capital that made the list include Dick Mack's in Dingle, Wicklow's Mickey Finns and Mother Macs in Limerick.
